🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film doesn't try to be funnier than it is — and that's its honesty. The humor grows from situations and characters, not from pre-written jokes.
The film does exactly what it was made for: gives you a break. No pretensions to more, but honest and without dead spots.
A solid choice for company. Works alone too, but funnier together.
Director: Minoru Ohara
